Yes, its still winter...brrrrr and it's here in full POLAR VORTEX today! But this was a surprise for me. When Fifi was here shooting my house (that is no longer my house), she zipped on over to the shop and snapped a few.

It was also exciting to see what Sharon wrote about us, bravo, it's all very flattering. Even Bob thinks so. Though he admits he's not so good with the delicate wrapping that I do when packing the orders. He prefers to use a hammer and table saw, thank goodness.

Most of the shop at the time these pictures were taken, was a big mess. Thankfully Shari was here to help me out with a few displays. You see we were only open one weekend a month, so during the rest of the time we just threw stuff around.

But, when March or April come around we should be ready with our totally new shop. It's going to be different that it ever has been, but of course that's the evolution of retail, well creative retail. And we are planning to be open more regularly. As long as there are customers that is.

If you get a chance to pick up a copy of the Spring issue, available everywhere now, you will also get to read about Junk Bonanza which happens in April, (we'll be one of the vendors there too!) and some gorgeous homes including Amy Chalmers, see the cover? Trust me, this is a good issue.

We love Wendy Addison's 6" glass glitter numbers and there is no better time to hang a garland of them than New Years Eve! I know it's not even Christmas yet, but we just put together a bunch of these ready to make garlands, and you know you want to have them in time for the big night.

We are offering the set at a special price. A mere $20, gets you 4 glitter numbers 2-0-1-7 including hanging ribbon. Regularly $6 each.

One of the things I've been working on lately is a new logo and packaging designs. How about a sneak peak?Obviously this photo is all about our embossed paper "Dresdens", but we will be using this kind of packaging for all of our items.
